It's not a very meaningful vote if it's not a vote on the deal itself, I feel. But we can split the difference at calling it MV4-2

Pardon my stupidity but can someone tell me what happens if Boris does just ignore it until we default out?

Would it overturn what he’d done, or is that his plan, to be a martyr?

His plan - and that of the whole Tory party - is to get a majority by any means.

Lol if you don't think they'd happily break any law if they felt that would get them one
